There were a lot of us staying in the hotel and the staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly. We had delicious food throughout the weekend. The breakfasts are so good that you are set up for the day - and the glorious walks that are right on the doorstep. For children of all ages, the beach at... more

Have an unremarkable experience at the restaurant a few months back, though the hotel was neither clean nor quiet. Went back today to go for a cycle and then for dinner, but were chased out of the car park by a man in chef trousers who shouted at us. I'm sorry, but there are numerous wonderful restaurants and hotels in... more

This person was merely asked if I could help as he was parking in a private car park, at no time did I shout. If he had eaten in the Restaurant on a prior occassion he would have known that the person in chef's trousers actually owned the hotel. To my knowledge this person has NEVER eaten in the Restaurant.

Made to feel at home on arrival. Excellent cheerful service. Rooms very comfortable and well furnished. Excellent food well presented, even to the extent of offering to provide food not actually on the menu. Very helpful, provided us with a wonderful holiday taking a genuine interest that we enjoyed ourselves without being intrusive. more

I have visited this part of the world for many years now and it hard to beat the warm welcome and value for money at this small hotel run by Christopher and Ethel Slater. Its well located on the main road to Ullapool. It is possible to walk out of the hotel along a quiet single track road to the... more

We have just come back from a wonderful weekend at Achilty. Ethel and Chris could not have been more welcoming. The young children were provided with high tea at 5.30 so that the adults were able to relax over their meal later on and the food was absolutely delicious. We were well looked after by the staff especially Joanna who... more

The Achilty Hotel is always our first choice when it comes to dining out, whether it's for Sunday lunch or a birthday or anniversary celebration. On Saturday 18th April my husband and myself, along with fourteen friends and family, went to The Achilty to celebrate his birthday. It was booked at short notice but i was told it wouldn't be... more

I can only assume by reading other reviews that the positive reviews were written by the owners. I cannot stress enough - DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL! Our room was musty, smelled of damp, charmlessly decorated with old mismatching furniture and had the appeal and appearance of a cheap run-down old-peoples home. The outside overnight temperature was 2 degrees... more

This person could have had all his problems solved by merely telling us at the time . I do not either serve small or burnt Breakfasts

I regularly visit Achilty Hotel to sample the delicious food - a wide range of fresh seafood, local meats and poultry dishes on offer, as well as fantastic desserts and melt in the mouth tablet. The lounge bar is a comfortable, spotlessly clean and welcoming environment and the hospitality and friendly atmosphere created by Ethel and Chris is second to... more
